abstract: Although the Bologna Process has aroused some resistance in several countries, it is  proving to be a huge opportunity to harmonize higher education across Europe. This  process, aiming at enhancing the employability and mobility of citizens to increase the  international competitiveness of Europe through the creation of the European Higher  Education Area (EHEA), is been developed in a different way and at a different pace  depending on the country. This contribution intends to describe the adjustment of the Spanish University System  to the EHEA and the consequences of this process for Forestry Studies. It also  presents the  new study programs offered by the School of Forest Engineering of the  “Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (U.P.M.)”, the  oldest centre of higher forestry  education in Spain. Finally, the expected outcomes of the new system are outlined.
